New DNA 2fifty record? £90k expected at auction

[Jaguartvr]

Ideal donor, chances are it is all panel damage that would have been taken off anyway. I was looking for a cat C or D for my build, it was just that a cheap car came up.
I buy and repair damaged motorcycles, they can be written of for a scratched silencer or tank.
Great value for a rebid.
I also do a few cars, I bought 3 accident damaged MX5's for my Retroforza kit but all had such slight damage that I repaired them and sold them on.

In the same auction a REAL Ferrari 308 and 456 have similar valuations along with a 1972 AM DBS. As much as the DNA is a well executed car, the value attributed just seems bonkers to me. Take the money and run if it gets anywhere near estimate. Buyer also has to add 15% + VAT to hammer price, ouch!

That's very true but there are lots of people who wouldn't touch it because its a Cat C and that will live with the car for ever. Not a problem if you build the car for yourself to keep but worth bearing in mind if you might want to sell in the future.
